The Bolides we buy
- Bolide 1923 Mini — the current favorite
- Bolide 1923 — 25 and 30
- Bolide 27 — the small classic
- Bolide 31 — the everyday size
- Bolide 35 and Bolide 45 Voyage
- Epsom and Clémence Bolides
- Box Calf and heritage leathers
- Bolide Relax and Bolide Shark editions
- Core colors — Noir, Gold, Etoupe, Rouge H
- Vintage Bolides, including 1980s and 90s production
The 1923 Mini leads today's market, riding the small-bag wave — but the classic dome Bolide in Box Calf has a collector audience of its own, and vintage examples price better than most owners expect.
What makes a Bolide pay more
- The dome holding its arch — no collapse at the crown
- Zip running true the full length
- Oval patch and clochette in place
- Shoulder strap original and clean
- Corners unrubbed — the Bolide's round base works hard
- Full set — box, dust bag, lock and keys
Shape is everything on a Bolide. A bag that was stored stuffed and upright looks — and prices — completely different from one that lived folded in a closet.
Authenticated in store — no receipt needed
Bolides are authenticated in store with professional authentication equipment — the zipper manufacture, blind stamp, stitching, hardware and leather are checked at the counter. No receipt is required. Box, dust bag and lock-and-keys help the offer when they come along.
The more you bring in, the more you get. The Bolide is often the second or third Hermès in a collection — bring it with the others. A Bolide plus a Kelly wallet plus a Carré is a stronger table than any one piece alone. The more you bring in, the more you get.
Conditions we buy
- Dome crisp, zip true — pays the most
- Lightly carried with strap clean
- Softened vintage Bolides with patina
- Corner wear priced in
- Bolides with a tired zip — still bought and priced

How it works
1. Text photos first. Photos of your Bolide, front and back, plus any details, to 857-867-6468 — get a realistic range before you travel.
2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). We authenticate and price the item at the counter, in front of you.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.
Sell it, or borrow against it and keep it?
Quiet bag, solid loan. Borrow against your Bolide at 3% per month* for up to 4 months, renewable, or take cash for it outright — same counter, same visit, numbers in plain print before you decide.
Private VIP room: for loans and purchases over $2,000, ask about our private VIP room when you book — high-value pieces are handled there, not across a busy counter.
Why bring your Bolide here?
Mail-in buyers quote one number online, then grade your piece down in a warehouse you have never seen — and hold your item hostage while you argue.
Marketplaces and consignment mean weeks of messages, flakes, fees and scam risk on a piece worth serious money.
At LBC Pawn your Bolide is authenticated and priced at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or a loan ticket and your ownership intact.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the item to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.

Questions we hear
- Is a vintage Bolide worth anything?
- Yes — genuinely vintage Bolides, especially Box Calf from the 1980s and 90s, have a real collector market. Age alone does not hurt this model; condition decides.
- What's the difference between the Bolide and the Bolide 1923?
- The 1923 strips the classic design down — no oval patch, cleaner lines, hand-stitched. Both are bought; the 1923 Mini is currently the hotter of the two lines.
- My Bolide has lost its shape. Still sellable?
- Yes — a collapsed dome lowers the offer, but the leather and hardware still carry real value. Text photos and we will be straight with you.
- Can I pawn my Bolide?
- Yes — 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge), up to 4 months, renewable.
